Common Questions About Neurofeedback and Brain Health
Read our posts to learn more about how neurofeedback and brain mapping can help improve your overall health on and off the field.
How does neurofeedback work?
Neurofeedback works by measuring the electrical activity of brainwaves in order to provide feedback and information about how your brain is functioning.
How do I unleash my inner superhero with neurofeedback training?
All of us have hidden superpowers that just need to be unleashed.
As an athlete, why should I try neurofeedback training?
As an athlete, why should I try neurofeedback training?
What happens during a qEEG brain map appointment?
Come along with a client and experience a qEEG brain map at Ronan Healthcare Consultants in Denver, Colorado.
Why should I try neurofeedback training?
Reasons why you should try neurofeedback training.
Why should I get a qEEG brain map?
You might be wondering why you even need a brain map. A (qEEG) brain map is a powerful tool that can identify issues like memory problems, focus issues, or anxiety affecting your performance.
What is a qEEG?
A qEEG is short for a quantitative electroencephalogram. It is a digital recording of brain wave activity in various parts of the brain, which is then translated to a "map" of the brain.
What are Alpha brain waves?
Alpha is responsible for processing information and transitioning into the other brain waves.
What are SMR brain waves?
SMR (Sensorimotor Rhythm) (12-15 Hz) - Also known as Lobeta, this brain wave is responsible for attention, energy, and action.
Are there any side effects from neurofeedback?
You can think of neurofeedback training as strength training for your brain, where you gradually increase the load and intensity to build up your “mental muscles” over time.
What are Hibeta brain waves?
Hibeta (20-35 Hz) - This brain wave is responsible for our fight/flight response.
Is love the ultimate brain booster?
When it comes to our brain health, love is one of the most powerful tools we have.
What are Beta brain waves?
Beta (15-20 Hz) - Similar to SMR or Lobeta, this brain wave is responsible for attention, energy, and action.
What does a qEEG brain map measure?
A qEEG brain map measures electrical activity in the brain. It is known as a quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG).
What are the different brain waves that are measured in a qEEG brain map?
When it comes to understanding brainwaves, five main categories are measured in a qEEG brain map: Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, and Hi-Beta waves.
What is qEEG brain mapping?
qEEG (quantitative electroencephalogram) brain mapping is a type of EEG (electroencephalogram) that uses computer analysis to measure electrical activity in the brain.
How long does a typical session last, and how often do you need to attend for results to be seen?
Neurofeedback sessions last for 50-minutes per session. Most people train twice a week and complete 30-60 sessions.
What should I expect during your Neurofeedback or brain training session?
While Neurofeedback is a non-invasive and drug-free way to help people with conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, and depression, it's essential to understand what you can expect during a typical session.
What should I expect during my Brain Mapping appointment, and how much does it cost?
Your Brain Mapping appointment will last for approximately 1 hour. Our clinician will use a special camera to take high-resolution images of your brain during this time. These images will create a detailed map of your brain activity.
